An Uber spokesperson told The Guardian that it is working to fix an issue in the car’s programming that causes the vehicles to make an "unsafe right-hook-style turn through a bike lane." No ETA was given for a fix.

An Uber spokeswoman said on Monday that engineers were working to fix a flaw in the programming that advocates feared could have deadly consequences for cyclists. Uber began piloting its self-driving vehicles in its home town of San Francisco last week, despite state officials’ declaration that the ride-share company needed special permits to test its technology. On day one, numerous autonomous vehicles آ– which have a driver in the front seat who can take control آ– were caught running red lights and committing a range of traffic violations.
